The British & Irish Lions continue their tour of South Africa this Wednesday as they take on the Golden Lions at Coca Cola Park (formerly Ellis Park) in Johannesburg. The match will air live in the United States via Setanta Sports starting at 1 pm Eastern. I’ll be at work (most likely) but you know I play on DVR’ing it!
As for the squads, several changes for the British & Irish Lions, including the tour debut for standouts Brian O’Driscoll, Stephen Jones, Phil Vickery & a personal favorite of mine, Ugo Monye. The Lions hope to improve on Saturday’s weak effort versus the Royal XV.
As for the Golden Lions, I’m thrilled to announce that USA’s Todd Clever may get to see action as he has been named to the squad. He’ll start out on the bench but hopefully he can get some playing time. How many Americans can say that they played against the British & Irish Lions? Hopefully he can stay healthy as he is scheduled to fly back to the United States following Wednesday’s game to join his fellow Eagles in Chicago for their test match this Saturday versus Wales.
